A manual for the Global Sourcing Managers
— to decide whether or not to work with a sourcing company?
When a Global Sourcing or Purchasing Manager is undecided, “Should I work with a sourcing company or not?”
This page can act as a manual for global sourcing managers.
Just 3 simple questions will help you decide.
Question 1:
Have you successfully sourced similar goods from India?
🟢 Yes— You can reconnect with your past connections in India and you can DIY it.
🟠 No— Go to Question 2.
Question 2:
Do you have an internal team to manage imports from India?
🟢 Yes— Apparently, you are already importing from somewhere. You can ask a sourcing company’s help in India starting. Later manage yourself.
🟠 No— Go to Question 3.
Question 3:
What is the estimated annual value of your planned imports from India?
⚠️ in millions of $ — You neither have experience (about India sourcing), nor have a team to manage. But your plan is big. You’ve all the reasons to set your own India Purchasing Office.
⚠️ in thousands of $: No reason to wait now. Ask a sourcing company and start getting the results, you were waiting for.

Important:
Last but not least, a three-point checklist before you start with a sourcing company. (Example: APOGEE Sourcing)
– Make sure to give them a target.
– Remember you can always start with a sourcing company and, later manage yourself.
– Don’t forget that their services aren’t free.
